It will be up to that genius known as Pat Robertson to present another historical tidbit on how this largely religious nation [over 93% of its population practices some for of monotheism] managed to piss the heavens off (or some other stupidity).

Side note: I wonder if He's also delaying the discovery of "teh cure" just for shits and giggles.

I will put my concerns about my Red wines aside and offer this philosophical observation:

Are we as mere mortals so arrogant( of course we are) to think that this earth is heaven and anything that takes us from this earth is bad? Maybe this IS hell and those that were seemingly killed unjustly (the 2 y/o child, the 93 y/o pure grandmother) in these disasters were not enduring the wrath of GOD but were receiving the glory of GOD and taken out of this hell to a better place.

Please turn to page 21 of your Hymnals and rise as we sing along to "Glory, Glory Hallelujah"

I have a friend that became an ordained minister last week with a credit card and the click of a mouse . I'm thinking I'm going to do the same and maybe get me one of those snazzy collars to wear for family reunions and special occasions . My southen baptist family is gonna be so proud of me .

Jeff, if it works for ya, let me know so I can do the same! I'd love to dole out some wrath.

Matty the Damned is an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church of Modesto California and has been since aught-7. He even forked out the USD$7.95 for the shiny wallet card and sundry documents confirming his status as an Official Preacher.

The ordination itself is free. You only have to pay for the bling - which is optional.

In future you will all address me as Sister Jan..for the Lord hath spoken

So from now on it's...Nun of this, Nun of that and Nun of the other for me, God, I hope he doesn't want me to make a habit of that..

Sexy Sister Jan (Sister Kharn El Joy)

Although I did go on a date with a guy once and later he told me there was no way we could seriously date since he was going to be ordained as a priest in the catholic church. He was hot too, I just had visions of "thornbirds" in my head.

The poor cats and all that sexual repression.

The only way that I'd consider being ordained in any religion would be if I can get to hear errbody's dirty little secrets. I would then dispense seriously harsh penances (or perhaps consider indulgences).

As of 4:32 pm this afternoon I am a ordained minister . I'm waiting till I get my wellfare check on the third so I can order my gold embossed wallet ID .

Welcome Brother!

The Official ULC Wallet Bling is totally worth the fork out. It's all shiny and embossed and has a groovy hologram (hello 1989!) thingy on it.

Also, NSW Rail Transit cops will accept it as identification when they fine you for not having a ticket because you were coming down and only just made it to the station depsite nearly having a stroke and almost missing your train.

I agree GSO this thread did get a bit off track...but really does One millionth of a second, (or just over) mean anything, I don't think I can even blink that fast....it's awful what the families in Chile are going through, so very sad and so many dead...but do you really think they are worried about losing a millionth of a second when they have lost so much more than that...who could even start to work that out in the middle of a huge disaster like that..and why?

Damn it, how do I get that wallet card?! I didn't see the link for that, or I would most definitely have ordered it. I found out this morning that I am now an ordained minister of, hmmm, oh hell, now I can't remember the name of the church.

Tailored especially with your comfort in mind, this blouse has been made from easy-care fabric. Features soft pleats in the front and back, set-in sleeves, and a hemmed bottom for wearing untucked. Available in black or white only.

Thanks for the link, MtD. Weeee! And yes Jan, I love that blouse. I'd love to wear it to work and see what my boss (who is a female pastor) thinks about it. Of course she may be offended, since it took her some years to get her pastorship.
